Directions
Biryani is a mixed rice dish that has its origins in the Muslim cuisine of India. It’s rice mixed with meat and spices, that make of it a fragrant, flavourful, and colourful dish. Byriani is lean and satisfying, and very easy to make vegan by substituting meat with vegan chicken fillets.
To prepare, start with cooking the rice in a melted butter, spices, and saffron water. Then, cook the chicken in butter and spices. Finally, mix them all together and finish the cooking.
Serve hot!
